Slow Day

Well I have been at work since 5:40 am today(it is now 11:10 am) and it is sooooo slow today there's not anything going on, so it is giving me plenty of time to think about what I want to put on my blog page. I have made up my mind that I am going to give myself a challenge. Here is what I am going to challenge myself with, learning a new bead weaving stich per month for the next 12 months. I will use the new stich I have learned by making a bracelet.
I plan to post pictures and talk about the frustrations and joys I will be experiencing along the learning process. I am excited there are so many stiches out there I have not tried and some that I have tried but have gotten so frustrated that I put it down and did not go back to. So in the case of the ones I have tried and did not give it the chance I should have, I will give them a second chance, and I will be triumphant.

Before I get started on my personal challenge, I am making a peice to enter into The Margie and Me: Oil on Canvas collor challenge, by Marcie (La Bella Joya). I have already started and will reveal my peice on May 28th.

About Me

Hello, my name is Therese and I live in the great state of Alabama. I love to make jewelry in my spare time. I started making jewelry in 2005. I was looking through a beading magazine and saw a necklace that I fell in love with and just had to make, so I did, and I have been hooked ever since. Along with jewelry making I crochet, paint mostly on glass items, make clothes, quilt, counted cross stitch, and a few other crafts. I'm a mother of one, a handsome young man that is all grown up and on his own.
